The   main    object   of  the  study is  to  evaluate  the   epidemiological

    specifications of strokes and the abundance of strokes in diabetic patients

    in Sina Hospital Hamadan during 1995 to 1998.

         From   1320   cases   of  strokes , there were 50 diabetic patients. In   the 

    study    we   noticed   that   most   of  the  patients   were NIDDM (94%)and

    female (60%). The  most  common  age  for  the  occurance   of   stroke  in

    diabetic  patients    was  55 - 75  years   old  and only 4% of  patients  were

    45 - 55 years  old .  In  comparison study most of the cases  were  ischemic

    (72%)  rather  than  hemorrhagic (28%) ones.  There  were  not  meaningful

    relationship   between  the   duration  of  diabet  and  the   occurance   of 

    strokes .  There  were  not meaningful  relationship   between   the   rate of 

    blood  glucose  at   the  time of the admittion and  the   occurance of the

    strokes.
